the boy on the train [tyler joseph & josh dun]

one

I enter the train station and look around. There's hardly any people, which will make what I'm about to do 10 times easier. After 20 or so minutes, I hear an announcement saying that the next train is on its way into the station. Slowly but carefully, I edge closer and closer towards the tracks. I see a pair of headlights moving towards me and realise that this breath will be my last.

Suddenly, a security guard yells at me to move and I feel strong hands wrap around my waist as I launch forward. My body hits the ground and everything is a blur, until I open my eyes and see a mess of cotton candy hair and tattoos kneeling over me.

I stare into his mocha eyes and think,

damn, this boy is cute

Once I process what's going on, I sit up and let my gaze wander. There's a crowd of people standing around me, some are staring, others are filming. They're filming a boy who just tried to kill himself.

Blood rushes to my head and I feel a sudden wave of claustrophobia. My hands start to shake and I mutter incoherent words as sweat beads on my forehead. I feel tears well in my eyes as I push past everyone and sprint to the bathroom, not realising that I'm being followed. As I push through the heavy metal doors, my cheeks become streaked with tears and I collapse onto the cold tiles.

Strong arms wrap around me and I look up to see the cute boy that saved my life. He looks at me with pain in his eyes and tells me everything is going to be okay.

And for some reason, I believe him.
